In the second T20I between India and South Africa in New Chandigarh, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh had a rare and difficult over where he delivered seven wides, meaning the umpire called the ball too wide seven times. Because wides force extra deliveries, the over lasted 13 balls and conceded 18 runs, making it the longest over by a full-member bowler in T20I history. Former players and coaches like Gautam Gambhir showed visible frustration at the lack of control, and the incident quickly became a major talking point in the match as South Africa built a big total.
